Have you tried using the ASP880 as a converter with the outboard pre's? I''d love to see a shootout between the ASP880 and the DP88 both as standalone and as converters for the Capi :)

Grounding that tab to the top looks kind of, uh, well, ‘less than optimal’.

I like to turn my jack around 180° because then you have ‘hot’ on the left, ‘cold’ on the right. (Which, when you add “shit flows down” to that last statement it tells you all that you need to know about plumbing.) But seriously then you have the hot wires on one side and the ground wires on the other side.

Aiming for "As polished and radio-ready as possible" is a mark of sheer insecurity, a NEED for approval. This isn't rocket science. Aim for beauty and empathy; it's all the music can do , at best, anyway....polishing/varnishing a masterpiece is the easiest part.

And you can do a lot better than an LA-610 in the tube-pre dept. I have one and it's very good, but far from as good as it gets. Fearn and Coil are just two that are in a different galaxy from UA.

Quick question, what is the capacitor for?
@roycox4415Ай бұрын
@@IRL_Official the capacitor is what allows you to have a tone knob. It’s responsible for being able to roll off the treble. Without the capacitor the tone knob wouldn’t have that effect.

Can the wire going to the claw be held in with a small self tapping screw? Can the other grounding screw that is inside the control cavity be located in the trem cavity instead?

“I don’t need to chase gear, everything sounds amazing as it is” I needed to hear that. I’m sitting back down and only allow myself to buy more gear if I can specifically say what I’m missing. If I can’t get the sound I want to get out of what I have - or if I get to a point where I notice I put the same compressor on the same thing for every session. Chasing gear is a distraction 🐥

Why didn't you connect all your CAPIs through ADC/ D SUB Line inputs of the ASP880? Unlike the TRS line inputs, these will bypass all the circuitry and get you straight to the converters. This way you could actually switch between the ASP or external pres via the ADC button on the front, and you would keep the same conversion accross
@roycox44153 ай бұрын
I’m bypassing all of the circuitry in the same way through the dp88. Direct to converter also

Dude, your preamp rig is basically exactly what I'm going for rn. I just bought a wa73, then slurged on a stereo pair of API 312's, and I've owned a an LA610 before and know they're killer tube vibes- so my goal is to have the neve clone for vocals, the api's for guitar and drums, and the la610 for bass or really just anything I feel like because it's so F good on anything.

Quick question: In around 36:30 you move to the testing phase but I did not find the p jack soldering and tremolo grounding phase, can you please clarify? Also in that phase you say we should twist the black and white wires (plural) together but according to my understanding the souls be one white wire and one black wire remaining. And those souls go to the jack Thanks ❤

Any body knows anything about the ( Wang VT-5) Tube amp
Because I did'nt have a .047uf cap for my Strat I had to use a .1uf Jensen ( yellow+blue) from an old radio. I could not believe how it changed the tone even when the tone pot was on 10, I really liked it because the tone pot (CTS 250k Linear) became extra sensitive, just 1 notch down and the tone kicked in. I found a .033uf "Admiral" cap UK made and put that in later and it works beautifully but that old Jensen was amazing. I changed it because it was just too big but I learned that I prefer physically larger caps for the middle and bridge on a Strat. The fun is (as the man said) in trying various designs and values. If you can find the "WIMA" rectangular caps try them, for some reason the red .047uf adds extra springyness to a Strat.

So if you dont want to press the leg of the volume pot against it like you have done, do you use a wire instead to ground it?
@FingalPersson4 ай бұрын
I know how to swap pickups, pretty easy Tone and Volume pots are the same! I bought 3 Fender 500K pots for my Stratocaster, gonna change them at the same time as I change my mid pickup when it arrives! Never changed pots before but all you need is your phone, take a picture of the wiring, solder off the wirings and capacitor, unscrew the pots, screw in the new pots, solder on the new capacitor, take the two extra capacitors ( every pot comes with 1 capacitor ) put them in a drawer and have them as reserve and just solder back the wirings as they were, and voila 😀

Alot of time I see ppl ground all the controls to each other. This isn’t necessarily? Also, I didn’t see the wire to the claw. Although I’m pretty sure it just gets grounded to the top of volume pot.. thanks in advance. I’m doing my first project
@roycox44154 ай бұрын
Yes you do want to run a wire from pot to pot to pot. This wire then gets grounded to the back of the trem claw or block. You are creating a grounding loop basically. I have another video on my channel about installing the input jack which talks about lot about grounding as well.
